NYSC cautions Corps members against night journeys

National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, members observing their one year mandatory service in Taraba State have been cautioned against embarking on night journeys.

The state NYSC coordinator, Mr Ella Aji Williams, who gave the warning on Tuesday during the closing ceremony for the 2024, Batch A stream II, directed the Corps members to always endeavor to break their journey once it is 6pm.

He also advised them to locate the nearest military or police barracks, where they can sleep, once they are running late.

The coordinator, who also admonished them on the need to desist from boarding vehicles by the roadside, urged the Corps members to take advantage of designated motor parks in order to ensure their safety.

“I wish to reiterate managements travel advice to the Corps members against embarking on night travel. You are required to eschew night voyages.

“Endeavor to break your journey once it is six in the evening. Available locations for you to pass the night include police stations, military barracks and any close NYSC secretariat or orientation camp,” he said.
